Good acting and great English scenery whished Michael Kitchen was in it more but has good family watching movie the children acted out their parts very realistically will watch it again ofcourse I hadf seen it before buying it chfancier

Excellent, mimmics the original from 1970. Would still like to get the original 1970 production, cinamatography & music was a bit better as it was a theatrical release.

So much of children's entertainment these days is pure twaddle. This classic movie is an exception. It teaches the value of family and being content when one's material circumstances are reduced and family is all one has left. It also teaches how important it is to give to others, even when one may be hurting herself. My 4-year-old train enthusiast loves this film as do his parents and grandparents.

A good family movie. I found this reminiscent of Anne of Green Gables or the Avonlea TV series. Except this is set in England, not Canada. But along the same time period. (late Victorian or Edwardian) This movie is also more about the children in a family, than the adults, as the Avonlea series was. These children faced hardship, but they did not allow this to break their spirits. They kept hope, and despite their own troubles they had concern for their fellow man. Jemina Rooper played the oldest daughter, a young teenager. Jenny Agutter was the mother. We also saw David Bamber and Sophie Thompson in supporting roles. Several of my favorite BBC actors! I enjoyed this enough that I would now like the see the older mini series based on the same story.

I am glad to add this piece to my Brtish Movie Collection, it is a wonderful family drama, that stirs the heart, and makes one wish they were a child again

Very informative book, covering a lot of material of interest to the begining HO Model Railroader. Covering many of the same topics as other books on basic model railroading but each area seems to be covered with more clarity than many of the books I have read. I shall keep this one for my library and recommend it to anyone who is starting out in model railroading. Buddy L.

A terrific book, full of lots of photos and colour reproductions of advertising posters etc. Was dissappointed in that it had no detail on the actual trains re locos and consists etc, but more on the PR side of the Chiefs. If you are after more in depth detail I recommend the book "Santa Fe Streamliners" the Chiefs and their Tribesmen by Karl Zimmermann. A must have addition for the set.

In Santa Fe: The Chief Way, railroading enthusiasts Robert Strein, John Vaughan, and C. Fenton Richards Jr. collaborate to present an informative and totally engaging presentation of the famed Santa Fe railroad, and its legendary"Chief" locomotives that powered the trains along the New Mexico terrains. Blending historic photography with period advertisements, and thematic artwork, Santa Fe: The Chief Way is a welcome and much appreciate contribution to any American railroading history collection. Also available in a hardcover format (0937206717), Santa Fe: The Chief Way is an ideal giftbook for railroad buffs as well.

Robert Strein, John Vaughan, and Fenton Richards effectively collaborate to provide an informative and fascinating history of the Santa Fe railroad in Santa Fe - The Chief Way. Illustrated throughout with many unique historical photographs enhancing the "reader friendly" text, we are presented with highlights of those prestigious trains and their luxurious accommodations on the Santa Fe run. A welcome and highly recommended addition to any railroad buff's collection, Santa Fe - The Chief Way also touches upon the railroad hires of Native Americans guides to ride the trains through New Mexico for the edification of the passengers, as well as citing the film stars and cinematic moments associated with Santa Fe railroading history.

Gorgous photos, paintings, and old advertisements along with informative text, this book is for anyone who has ever been drawn to the serenity and beauty of new mexico.
